foreign policy for 9/11. i haven't really dug in deep to the cross tabs but i'm guessing that probably doesn't help in western iowa. rand is salvier than that, right? >> sure. talking about the president being in israel. so rand's father was extremely tough on israel which did not play well with, for instance, evangelical christians who vote to disproportionately high numbers in the republican primaries. rand lays out a view of the middle east and israel. he says i'm against foreign aid to israel and say i'm against international assistance to israel but i'll stand with israel. i'm pro israel and recognize it's a isolated region in this country. again, when you really drill down and i think rand is smart and savvy. i think where he is heading on foreign policy, he is just on the cusp here of either being very clever about it or starting to wig people out. i think that this -- the night of the filibuster and drones seemed like it was a good political move. over time, weeks will people be saying what was he fig

there's been no fast changes, this doesn't speak to any weaknesses in american foreign policy, it speaks to the difficulty of the country and speaks to a place where we didn't have a lot of good options. so i think there's something reassuring about the fact that two presidents from, you know, very different political persuasions basically adhered to an identical foreign policy and relied on the same unreliable partner in karzai. that could have been secretary rice, secretary clinton, it was secretary kerry in this case. but the goals have remained american goals and that was to make this place better than the evil horrible place it was when 9/11 was planned. it's fine to say 12-year war and it's terrible never should have been there, but i'm not sure we had any good choices. and affirmed by the fact that two presidents of different political persuasions did the exact same thing. >> if afghanistan were sandwiched in between brazil and argentina, nobody would care. it's the region that finds itself in. the fact that the neighbors are iran and pakistan is why. >> and the attacks of 9/11 we

the young people who are there and who applauded ally will not be shaping foreign policy and we have to deal with the government that exists. it's a coalition government of really intense contradictions and we, therefore, have to be very clear in asserting what we consider to be the vital interests of the united states which are automatically good for israel. because if the united states is healthy and strong and predominant in the region, israel is totally secure. let's not forget, sdentally something very important which the press hasn't played up at all in recent months but yet it is a very telling fact. israel and the united states tend to be almost completely isolated in the middle east. not only in terms of the middle eastern countries but in terms of world opinion. look at the vote in the u.n. when we made every single effort possible to discourage countries from voting in favor of palestinian membership in the u.n. how many votes out of 190, out of 190 did we get? we found only seven countries to support us. this tells us something. and, therefore, we have to be very, very cl
